Only some fuzzy msgid have the old string?

I was pleased to see the old msgid in comment for fuzzy strings. This
really helps to see what has changed in the original text. But why is
this really helpful thing missing from some msgids that are marked
fuzzy?

I'm not sure what you're making reference to.

However, the former string only appears when one takes care to use the
"--previous" switch to msgmerge when merging a PO file with the POT
file.

So, that explains why, sometimes, this might be missing (for instance,
I think that I inadvertently forgot to use --previous in last APT PO
files update).
